She knew it was time to send them back. The caterpillars softly wiggled in her hand, spelling out ‘goodbye.’

This week President Obama called on ALL Americans (young and older) to serve their communities in some way this summer.  More information is provided at serve.gov (there is a link on our blog roll).  The program is called United We Serve and is running from June 22 to September 11.  Our President is asking us to find ways to volunteer in areas such as education, health, energy and the environment.  Any thoughts on what you might do?  Let us know if you have ideas or if you do provide a service, tell us all about it.

Have you seen the latest Taco Bell commercial with the man who runs around collecting pennies from the “take a penny” trays at different stores and restaurants (including a lemonade stand) around town? He uses the pennies he collects to pay for an $.89 burrito. What do you think about this commercial? Do you think it was “okay” for the man to “take” the pennies and use them to pay for his burrito? Any thoughts? Connections?

You guys have been doing a FABULOUS job of keeping in touch this past week! I am so sorry that I haven’t been in contact. I was really busy last week volunteering at my former school. Today was the last day of school for their students, so now I get to check in with all of you. I miss you! Great to hear about Kristin’s game, Cayli’s trip to Vegas and Tanner’s upcoming trip. What else have you been up to? How about the Summer Reading list or the Summer Bible Reading? Anyone making any headway? I couldn’t find the books on the Summer Reading list at Border’s, but I’m gonna try to look at the State Library. I noticed some of you got on Ratty’s blog. Don’t forget to check him out all summer. And look for more Harris Burdick pics on our blog soon!
